1 A Guide to Remember for L ife Holocaust Survivors Stories of Faith and Hope by Brad Hirschfield The Jewish Publication Society Philadelphia
2 INTRODUCTION This study guide is composed of two kinds of questions, each designed to deepen your appreciation of the Torah text, the survivors whose stories lie within the book, and also of yourself as a reader of both. The questions in this guide will heighten both your awareness of yourself and the values that you hold most dear, and your awareness of the multiple layers of meaning embedded within the lines of each week s Torah reading. While there really are no wrong answers to any of the questions, there are ways of answering them that will produce richer results for you as a reader. Start by reminding yourself that there really are no right answers, that questions such as these take time to answer, and that the perfect answer of today may give way to a totally different answer in the future, one which will be just as perfect. We have also tried to craft questions that invite the answers of readers both young and old, and also for readers whose range of experience in reading the Hebrew Bible (in any language) extends from neophyte to near professional. Just as the stories which make up the book act as a new kind of commentary on the weekly Torah portion, the questions in this guide are designed to help you become a more active reader of the text, in effect creating a living commentary each time you read. Doing that requires drawing your attention to all three texts that should always be in play as you read through the pages of Remember For Life; the survivors stories, the Torah portions on which their stories comment and reflect, and the text of your own life the latter being the one from which none of us ever departs and from which all reading necessarily begins. That is why two kinds of questions are offered for each highlighted value of the Torah portion covered in the book; we begin by inviting readers to connect their own experience, the story of their own lives, to the stories told by the survivors. Having made the connection between those two narratives, we invite readers once again to consider those questions which link your own experience to the narrative found in the Biblical text as well. In this way, each reader becomes both a carrier of previous Jewish stories about the struggle to create meaningful and ethical lives, and a creator of new stories that do the same. That is what it means to remember for life. We hope that you find this process of ongoing questioning and answering gratifying, and know the blessing that your discovery of truths, both ancient and new, will bring you both wisdom and joy.
